The Avanti Class 805 'Evero' | Is it any good?

In this video, I review the brand new ‪@AvantiWestCoastRail‬ Class 805s, taking a trip from Coventry to Birmingham New Street.
I won't let much slip, but I was pleasantly surprised!
I hope you enjoy the video!

I have to say that the new Class 805 are very nice trains as they have slowly come into service. The Class 807 should soon enter service in few months time.

To be honest I quite like the new Avanti West Coast Class 805 and they do look really nice. Same with the Class 807 once they have entered service.

Great video buddy. I had a ride on the Class 805 Evero for Avanti on Monday just gone and I much prefer them to The Voyagers.

[@TheGreatWesternGuy]

Thanks Sam! Much appreciated! Yeah same here. The ride is almost as good (the suspension is a bit on the hard side) as the voyagers, but everything else is of a much higher calibre.

@@TheGreatWesternGuy Yk the 805 does 110mph

[@TheGreatWesternGuy]

Nice I rode an EVERO Today

[@TheGreatWesternGuy]

Thank you! What did you think of it?

[@MHTrains]

@@TheGreatWesternGuy I thought they were amazing trains but the standard class seats need to be different as they are the same as the 390 except the addition of the table lights at tray tables.

Great video! I remember going inside 805001 when it was on test before they fitted seats in. I always complained about the refurb Pendolino seats being the same but the padding was bad on the Avanti aswell as no reading light. Alot of the Avanti staff did agree with me this was a bit silly but when I went inside last year inside 805003, I think it was, I was happy to see they had the reading light but the only problem is one whole plug and 2 usb sockets. Avanti thought about the reading light but I guessed that they wouldn't bother having 2 plugs. One in front of each person. Hope to ride one in public service soon as I haven't had the chance to get👍🏻

[@TheGreatWesternGuy]

Thank you mate! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hmm yeah the seats weren't the best choice, although they are miles better than anything else in any other IET. Thank you for watching!

[@trainhub2450]

Great video, the trains look nice currently in my opinion their only downside is the limited speed(although their acceleration is great) and the plugs but other than that theyre great trains

[@TheGreatWesternGuy]

Thank you! Yeah I feel those are the main downsides, although the time lost due to the lack of speed would be negligible. Thank you very much for your comment and for watching!

Very informative and enjoyable video Lucas! Having become familiar with the LNER Azumas and TPE 802s it's interesting to see the similarities and differences. I see what you mean about them announcements though, hopefully that's just a quick fix. One thing's for certain, Avanti struck the perfect chords with that livery! Cheers Aadil

[@TheGreatWesternGuy]

Thanks Aadil! Much appreciated! Oh yeah they are quite similar to the 801s and 2s but in some ways are still superior. However, the brake sounds are still 😬. Oh I absolutely agree with you there! The livery is superb! Thank you for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
